Building and Construction Industry (Consequential and Transitional
Provisions) Bill 2013
Compatibility with human rights
Consideration by legislative scrutiny and human rights committees

Introduction
Specific laws targeting any one industry are unnecessary
The Fair Work Act 2009 already regulates rights and restrictions of
protected industrial action. The rate of disputation has not increased since
the ABCC was abolished
Coercive powers available to the ABCC under these bills are excessive
Extending the powers of the ABCC outside of the building and construction
industry proper applies an extra, unnecessary level of legislation
The ABCC has no power in criminal matters, and there is no evidence
organised crime exists in the building and construction industry
The bills will not improve productivity
